I received this book without obligation from the narrator.

What I enjoyed about this book was the get in late scenario, there was no messing about with this storyline and it was very easy to follow and unfolded really well. The plot revolved around some great 3d characters who each had so much depth and backstory that it affected the outcome of the book and really made you feel for them. Great job on the suspense and mystery surrounding this story. I did think maybe it could have been longer, because I enjoyed it a lot, and I hope that this isn't going to be the only book with these characters, it seems there's so much scope that it would be a shame if so. The world building and ideas in here support most A.I stories, that I've had the pleasure of reading or listening to, yet it didn't seem over-worked or contrived.

The narrator has a great tone to his voice for this genre, deep and gritty, which suited the MC and I found myself getting lost within the world. The different character voices were unique enough that I didn't need tags to know who was doing the talking, great job.

I look forward to more from both writer and narrator, thank you for letting me listen in.

One the day that his sister is ambushed and killed and Noah Carver is himself seriously wounded, the announcement is broadcast that most synthetics will be given equal rights with the human population.Time passes. Noah buries his memories in a bottle - many bottles - but accepts a job to find the erstwhile partner of a failing magician, a Synthetic, who simply cannot hold the stage now that she has gone. He wants her back in his life again. An easy job, because Noah Carver knows exactly where to look .An intriguing setting with it's hints of present day fears and prejudice, good character development and dialogue, and an exciting story. Complete in itself, it holds out the possibility of a continuation in a later book.

Initially, I found A.W.Salzman's narration hard to enjoy although his reading was flawless, I had difficulties relating to the cadences he employed in his reading. But this was soon forgotten as I became involved in the story and his telling of it, paced perfectly to match the text. His dialogue voicing was particularly good, each individual distinctly different.

Synthetic Uprising is a good, fast paced S.F. detective thriller spiced with conspiracy. My thanks to the rights holder for gifting me a copy of this enjoyable book, via Audiobook Boom. I will be looking out for a further continuation in the hope of more to come.
